The patch helps to overcome the issue, Probably it should be applied to all stable releases affected by this behaviour. modprobe in initrd may load quite required things. 2017-10-02 18:56 GMT+03:00 Suzuki K Poulose <Suzuki.Poulose@arm.com>: > On Mon, Oct 02, 2017 at 03:11:18PM +0100, James Morse wrote: >> Hi Matwey, >> >> On 02/10/17 12:24, Dave Martin wrote: >> > On Fri, Sep 29, 2017 at 10:23:54PM +0300, Matwey V.

This patch wasn't a complete fix, and the issue is still being discussed at: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-October/534396.html Thanks, Mark.

As we were digging further, we realised there is no clear init level after which user space can be invoked, which means Suzuki's patch may not always be sufficient. I proposed something as a way of spotting this issue early [1] but I need to post it on the linux-arch to get some consensus. Can you post the full kernel log somewhere? I'm trying to figure out what trigged the modprobe during the kernel boot. Thanks, Catalin [1] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-October/534465.html

Talking to Suzuki, we came to the conclusion that such thing cannot happen before rootfs_initcall, so his original core_initcall change should suffice. I'll push a patch out, hopefully for -rc4 and cc stable.
